Course Description: Every organization is a collection of processes. These processes are the natural business activities you perform that produce value, serve customers and generate results. Many organizations follow dated policies and procedures because of the tradition of "that's how it's always been done." Process improvement techniques can greatly increase productivity and efficiency and/or reduce the cost of operations by eliminating waste and non-value added steps and uncovering the root causes of systematic quality issues. In most cases, only a small percent of all activities supporting business processes add value for customers and end-users.
The majority of business activities fall into one of two categories: 1) They are non-value adding activities that are necessary due to
regulatory or legal requirements, or2) They are clearly wasted effort.
In this practical, highly interactive course, you will learn to evaluate and improve the processes that are key to your organization.
Learning Objectives: Ø Manage/communicate a process improvement effort Ø Create "current state" and "future state" process maps Ø Identify and reduce non-value added steps (Waste) Ø Apply Lean tools/methodologies (Value-Stream Map, Waste Walk,
A3 Thinking) Ø Create an Action Plan to track and drive improvement efforts
Key Takeaways: Ø Templates and strategies that you can use right away Ø Knowledge and tools for creating a process map Ø Tools for reducing waste and increasing efficiency Ø Ways to document potential improvements Ø Strategies for mobilizing teams in your organization for process
change
Who Should Attend: Ø This workshop is designed for individuals at all levels and divisions of
the institution with a desire to improve performance. The workshop is designed for those new to lean concepts and process mapping
Ø Participants should come prepared to map/analyze one of their processes
